Sencore Products at 2012 CCW:

The MRD 5800 advanced modular receiver/decoder supports today's highest quality contribution video feeds and provides full MPEG-2, H.264, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, 8-bit, and 10-bit decoding in a single 1RU system. The MRD 5800 also decodes and outputs full HD 1080p60 video as 3G-SDI, giving an operator confidence that its system will be future-proof. The MRD 5800 offers up to eight PIDs of audio decoding to deal with the multichannel, multilingual environment of live event coverage. The system is ideal for many types of contribution environments, including large-venue OB productions, satellite trucks, and fixed-point contribution, as well as high-end distribution in which tools such as 4:2:2 chroma sampling are in use. The MRD 5800 provides full SMPTE 2022 (CoP3) FEC on an IP input.

VideoBRIDGE Monitoring

The Sencore VideoBRIDGE family monitors transport packets on IP, ASI, and RF interfaces for continuous quality assurance of streaming media in a variety of compression schemes, including MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. On display at 2012 CCW will be the VB12 portable IP monitoring device. With complete ETR101-290 analysis and alarming, the compact VB12 includes an interface for ASI and IP in a compact and ruggedized chassis smaller than most laptop computers. Designed for the rigors of real-world use, the VB12 is smaller and lighter than any comparable monitoring/troubleshooting solution. The VB12 can monitor 10 IP SPTS/MPTS services simultaneously and can be optionally expanded to support a maximum of 50 services.
